“I have joined this race with my son since 2018, 2019 and definitely we will continue to participate in many more editions. We will strive our best to train harder day by day, to make our contribution to the society, which will align with this year’s message – More than a race.”- Mrs. Kiều Thị Xuân Hương

“Having participated in over 20 marathons and 18 ultra marathons, Mr. Takeyuki Yamamoto is famous for his Samurai costume on all the races he’s ever been to in Vietnam. Explaining for his reason to wear Samurai costume, Mr. Yamamoto said: “I want to let everybody know that running a Full Marathon is not as difficult as it may look like. It can be fun just as long as you dedicate enough time training for it, make it a hobby of yours and learn how to enjoy the race.” – Mr. Takeyuki Yamamoto

“After the race, I realised that marathon is my passion, it’s a peaceful world. Regardless of your gender, your age, your skin colour, your nationality, Marathon will always bring peace of mind to you. We all run for the same goal, the same target and the same love.” – Mr. Trần Thanh Trí

“I ran HCMC Marathon 2019 powered by Taiwan Excellence because of Dang Phuoc Minh – my best friend, whom I trusted the most. He was contracted cancer and very ill at that time, so this race was a gift, an encouragement to cheer my friend up in his difficult moments.” – Mr. Harald Meyer

“After HCMC Marathon 2020, I was inspired by this sport and will try to run my first 10km this year. I’ve already registered a slot at Manulife Danang International Marathon this August (another event hosted by Pulse Active) to show my determination. This time, I will join to challenge myself as a runner, not a volunteer.”
